Colin Goralczyk - North Texas Municipal Water District Bois d'Arc Lake: A Peek Through the Clouds Located in Fannin County, near the city of Bonham, TX, Bois d’Arc Lake is the first new major reservoir in the state in nearly 30 years. Owned and operated by the North Texas Municipal Water District, this lake sets its sights on meeting the growing demand for water in a region of over 2 million north Texas residents. Equipped with a two-mile-long dam, multiple public boat ramps, a lake operations center, and more, this body of water will not only provide resources to the people of north Texas, but recreational aspects such as boating, fishing, and designated picnic areas. Bois d’Arc Lake began impounding water on April 14th, 2021, and continues to fill as it approaches its future conservation pool elevation of 534 ft.

John W. McEwen - DDG sUAV-Acquired Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Data to Create Observed Surface Classifications in a Coastal Habitat For a project that required determining the amount of vegetation in a coastal area, DDG's survey team and small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (sUAV) operators acquired visible spectrum and multispectral data. Multispectral data were processed into a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dataset. Converting the data type of the high resolution of the data allowed GIS analysts to develop ground-truthed classification compared to the aerial imagery captured in the same sUAV flights. Large scale map comparisons are provided to demonstrate how these classifications based on the NDVI data classifications compare to aerial imagery.
